Innovation
NuWatt has been at the forefront of innovating the rise of solar PV noise barriers (PVNB), which serve both as noise barriers and power generation facilities for local communities and Departments of Transportation (DOTs). It is privately funded, PVNBs are built using private funds, which ensures expansion without federal or state budget impact. The energy produced is then sold at a discount to DOTs or communities.
